Sewing Machine Pad

It's a sewing machine pad with pockets to keep some of my most used tools right at hand. It was a super quick project and it also gave me the opportunity to try out a new machine binding technique that I learned on the Modern Quilt Studio's YouTube channel (here and here). Can I just say, I'm sold! I don't like hand sewing and have always bound my quilts by machine. This method is just so easy and you only have to sew around the quilt once so it's super fast too. All you need is this cute little tool - a bias tape maker.

After I trimmed down my pad, I had a large quilted scrap leftover. It's just too good not to use it for something else. Luckily, I have an idea. :)

That is super cute, did you have a pattern or did you just make it up yourself? I always machine bind because I hate hand sewing, I'm going to check out those tutorials, because I love learning new things.

this looks so good and practical too, I would struggle with the po. Have just made a mat for my featherweight, well it was meant to be a doll quilt I am doing in a group challenge but have no doll! Will blog about it when the big reveal happens with all the others

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I love hearing from my readers. I typically respond directly to your email unless it's an answer that I think everyone would be interested in hearing. If you are a no-reply blogger (and I know that blogger doesn't play nice with other blogging platforms!), I will reply directly on my website. Thanks for stopping by!
